e-travels with e. trules

Like to travel? Like to listen to travel tales from well off the beaten path? Well, you've come to the right podcast!
"e-travels with e.trules" is a personal, literary, and dryly-comic travel podcast, created by Eric Trules... that is fully scripted, aurally immersive, and narratively entertaining .
Trules is a longtime HuffPost blogger and theater Professor at USC in Los Angeles as well as a former modern dancer, documentary filmmaker ("The Poet and the Con") and professional clown. He ran for Mayor of NYC as clown candidate Gino Cumeezi and finished 5th out of 4 candidates!
He has traveled our beautiful and problematic planet for decades, staying in Bedouin huts on the Red Sea, riding the rails to "Nose of the Devil" in Southern Ecuador, and meeting his future Indonesian wife on the magical island of Bali.
If you want to travel vicariously, or to be provocatively reminded of your own travel adventures, and misadventures, listen to these entertaining podcasts with original music by Amanda Yamate and sound design by Alysha Bermudez. Harry Duran, host of Podcast Junkies, is the producer.
New episodes will be released once a month on Apple Podcasts, with "Behind the Scenes" interviews two weeks later.

Enjoy and.....
Happy Trails.

Trules talks with long-time travel blogger and podcaster, Chris Christensen, "The Amateur Traveler"... whose cool rules of the road include: 1- "Never lose your sense of wonder and adventure when you're traveling." 2- "Never complain that you don't do things that way at home; that's part of the point of traveling." 3- "Never whne, because in the grand scheme of things, if you can afford to travel, what do you have to complain about?"

Enjoy the banter between Trules, who travels, and Christensen, who interviews about travel.

Trules arrives at the international airport in Denpasar on the magical island of Bali - to meet his Indonesian wife - but she is not there. She is, instead, in the local Kasi Ibue hospital with... dengue fever... one of the most feared, mosquito-born illnesses in the world. After waiting a week with Surya on intravenous drip, they go to the "Good Karma" bungalows on the still-pristine East Coast of the island, where Trules promptly has a head-on motorbike collision by driving on the wrong side of the road. A comic misadventure with original gamelon music composed by Amanda Yamate, the Trules survive, managing to lose 2 of their collective 18 cat lives amidst the Balisnese magic and the good karma.
